  • *New* GM run games – New games and old favourites slotted so that you can roleplay and boardgame.
  • *New* ‘Long Game Sunday’ – Day long games you can’t do on a weekday night!
  • *New* Ironman Arkham Horror – 8 players, 8 characters, multiple gods, the last investigator standing wins!
  • *Expanded* Pick up and Play – all weekend we’ll have games you can pick up and play! Have a spare hour come and play.

    • All this and more including prizes for the SKOG, the two runners up, the Ironman Arkham and best plays during the weekend. Also get to vote for the Griffy best boardgame of the year award.
